LYNN HALL (Hall, '57) Each $15.00 



Since 1953, when this deep pink first bloomed in the Hall 

 garden in Illinois, we have been asked when it would be 

 available. It invariably draws a crowd of admirers. The 

 picture on page 47 is very close to the actual bloom . . . 

 a very deep and uniform shade of luscious pink. It flow- 

 ers freely, is beautifully branched and grows and increas- 

 es vigorously. 3 feet in height. HM AIS. 1957. 



LYNN LANGFORD (Hall, '46) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



Orchid-pink in a deep tint, with golden yellow center. 

 There is no veining to detract from the general orchid 

 coloring except that the beard is golden yellow. Flowers 

 are large, very flaring in form, produced on stout, 3-foot 

 stems. HM AIS. 1946: AM, 1950. 



MAJENICA (Cook, '41) Each 60c ; 3 for $1 .50 



Distinct and colorful pinkish blend with a tinge of sal- 

 mon. This is a pleasing flower in every way with wide- 

 petaled standards and falls; full, rounded and huge in 

 size. Height 3 feet. HM AIS, 1943. 



MALAY (Kleinsorge, '52) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Rich and brilliant ginger-brown self, the flat spreading 

 falls harking back to Tobacco Road. The Iris has lots 

 of fire and a clump gives a vivid brown garden effect 

 whereas most browns have little landscape value. 30 

 inches tall, good size and free blooming.

MARY RANDALL (Fay, '51) Each $5.00 



This deep rose-pink self, with bright tangerine-red beard is a new color 

 in Iris. The flowers are large and have a thickness of petal seen in few 

 other varieties. Haft is very wide, free from markings. The form of this 

 Iris is near perfection and the flowers are well spaced along a nicely 

 branched, 36-inch stem. Produces wonderful seedlings. Dykes Medal. 

 1954. Illustrated on page 24. 



MATTIE GATES (Sass, '46) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



Exquisite wax-like blossoms with a pronounced sheen. A cool, soft yel- 

 low with bright gold on a crisp white heart. A cleaner flower than 

 Golden Fleece, taller and larger than Misty Gold. HM AIS, 1946; AM, 

 1950. 



MAY HALL (Hall, '54) Each $5.00 



In the opinion of Mr. Hall this is the best flamingo-pink he has thus 

 far turned out. The color is clear, clean, and bright, a shade of pink 

 which everyone expects in a flower of this hue. Many spreading blos- 

 soms to the stem, good branching, and a vivid beard to set it off. 36 

 inches tall. HM AIS, 1954; AM, 1956. Shown on page 23. 



MAY MAGIC (Schreiner, '56) Each $7.50 



A fresh, light hearted, radiant orchid-pink. Not related to nor resembl- 

 ing the flamingo-pinks, it is a frilly edition of the Pink Plume and 

 Lavanesque series. Luscious and delicate, with opalescent hues. HM 

 AIS, 1956. 



MAYTIME (Whiting, '50) Each $2.00 



Two tones of bright orchid-pink. This is one of Mrs. Whiting's best— a 

 handsomely formed full flower with lots of color. There is a definite 

 contrast in the color of standards and falls, making it a near amoena. 

 36 inches. HM AIS, 1950; AM, 1953. Pictured on page 11. 



MELODRAMA (Cook, '56) Each $20.00 



This new break in Iris breeding has attracted wide attention and stock 

 has been almost unattainable. The standards are pale violet, deepening 

 in tone to the deep lilac of the flaring falls. With its very broad petals 

 and huge size it will be immediately spotted in any planting. 40 inches. 

 HM AIS, 1956; AM, 1958. 



MELODY LANE (Hall, '49) Each $1 .00; 3 for $2.50 



Bright glistening golden apricot, although it came from two flamingo- 

 pink seedlings. The color is most attractive and new, with great carrying 

 power in the garden. Many of these new shades crop out in the off- 

 spring from pink parents. The flowers are very large with some ruffling, 

 good form and a heavy brilliant tangerine beard. Early, with 36-inch 

 stems. HM AIS, 1950; AM, 1952. See page 35.
